Rietveld texture analysis from diffraction images

Texture analysis from synchrotron diffraction images with the Rietveld method: dinosaur tendon and salmon scale.

A Rietveld method is described which extracts information on crystal structure, texture and microstructure directly from two-dimensional synchrotron diffraction images. This is advantageous over conventional texture analysis that relies on individual diffraction peaks, particularly for low-symmetry materials with many overlapping peaks and images with a poor peak-to-background ratio. The method...

Rietveld Texture Analysis by Neutron Diffraction of .highly Absorbing Materials

We discuss the impact of strong absorption for thermal neutrons on data analysis and compare absorption corrections in the GSAS and MAUD Rietveld codes for texture and structural parameter refinement. Diffraction data were collected on the neutron powder diffractometer HIPPO at LANSCE from dysprosium and erbium, which are moderate to strong absorbers for thermal neutrons with absorption cross-s...
